Arnold told NBC News that he met with Cohen at the Loews Regency Hotel in Manhattan and they discussed the new show.
Arnold said they had been "on the other side of the table and now we're on the same side."
Arnold tweeted the photo with Cohen and the caption, "I love New York." Cohen retweeted it without comment.
